Racism: “An explicit or implicit belief or practice that qualitatively distinguishes or values one race over other races.”
(Presbyterian Church of America)
“From one man he (God) has made every nationality to live over the whole earth…”
The Bad News- Racism is a Form of Relational Death that was Born Because of Sin
The Good News-Racism is a Form of Relational Death That Dies Because of Jesus
Nine Biblical Exhortations to Fight the Sin of Racism
1. See the Image in the Image-Bearer
2. Avoid Sinful Stereotypes (A Subtle Self-Justification)
1.
We want a person to fit a negative generalization (accurate or inaccurate) that we have formed about a group.
2. We assume a statistically true negative generalization is true of a particular person in the face of individual evidence to the contrary.
3. We treat all members of a group as if all must be characterized by a negative (or positive) generalization.
4. We speak negatively of a group based on a generalization without giving any evidence that we acknowledge and appreciate the exceptions.
5.We speak disparagingly of an entire group on the basis of a negative generalization without any personal regard for those in the group who don’t fit the generalization.
3. Let the Gospel Continually Slay your Pride
“We have a fatal tendency to exaggerate the faults of others and minimize the gravity of our own.”
John Stott
“The Lord of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up— and it shall be brought low. . . .
And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day” ,
4. Control Your Tongue
5. Weep With Those Who Weep
6.
Call Evil Evil and Good Good, According to God’s Definitions
7. Believe in the Vengeance of God
8. Fight Apathy Towards Injustice
